### 4.1. text/html media type

This specification defines the Internet Media Type [IMEDIA] (formerly referred to as the Content Type [MIME]) called `text/html'. The following is to be registered with [IANA].

        Media Type name
                text

        Media subtype name
                html

        Required parameters
                none

        Optional parameters
                level, charset

        Encoding considerations
                any encoding is allowed

        Security considerations
                see 10, "Security Considerations"

        The optional parameters are defined as follows:

        Level
                The level parameter specifies the feature set used in
                the document. The level is an integer number, implying
                that any features of same or lower level may be present
                in the document. Level 1 is all features defined in this
                specification except those that require the <FORM>
                element. Level 2 includes form processing. Level 2 is
                the default.

        Charset
                The charset parameter (as defined in section 7.1.1 of
                RFC 1521[MIME]) may be given to specify the character
                encoding scheme used to represent the HTML document as a
                sequence of octets. The default value is outside the
                scope of this specification; but for example, the
                default is `US-ASCII' in the context of MIME mail, and
                `ISO-8859-1' in the context of HTTP [HTTP].
